This is a website that has a lot of brief but good information about how children with hearing loss build language skills. It is ment to be a tool for parents but I found it very informative and helpful. I hope you all feel the same!
This website has a lot of great information. Since we have talked about some of this stuff in class, it interests me very much now. There are contacts to call to get more information, interventions, options for dealing with whatever situation you are in, and services available to help. One program available is the Part C Program. I'm not going to try to explain it in detail because I'm sure the website does a much better job, but it is basically a program funded by the federal government through the IDEA, and supplies services and equipment needed to meet the needs of your child. It is specifically for children ages birth- 3 years. Like I said before, there is a lot of great information on this site! Check it out! :)
